I don't see a reference to $100M (in text or numbers) in
the CBA, other than the with regard to debt service (how much debt teams are allowed to have / need not go over) on pg 242.
There are, however, some references to the Athletics in the CBA (I don't think you typically see teams singled out in the CBA). For example, on page 149, which is in the revenue sharing section, it has this:
Quote:
(12) Clubs with a Market Score greater than 100, as reflected in
Attachment 26, shall be fully disqualified from receiving revenue
sharing in the 2022-26 Revenue Sharing Years, except as set forth in
Section A(11) above; provided, however, that the Oakland Athletics
shall not be fully disqualified from receiving revenue sharing during
this period, but rather shall be 75% disqualified in the 2022 Revenue
Sharing Year; 50% disqualified in the 2023 Revenue Sharing Year;
25% disqualified in the 2024 Revenue Sharing Year; and fully eligible to receive revenue sharing (i.e., the Oakland Athletics will be
treated as if the Club’s Market Score were 100 or less) beginning
with the 2025 Revenue Sharing Year. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
if, by January 15, 2024, the Athletics have not entered into a binding
agreement in Oakland or another city to construct a new Major
League Baseball facility to host Athletics championship season
games, the Athletics shall be fully disqualified from receiving revenue sharing beginning with the 2024 Revenue Sharing Year.

Might what you're talking about be somewhere else? Maybe, but I don't think it's in the CBA.
EDIT: It might be in there where they talk about how to calculate how they determine how other teams qualify or don't, but I'm not willing to dive that far.
